In 2025, the Dubai property market continues to thrive. But whether you’re buying a penthouse or a family villa, one thing remains constant: the importance of a snagging report.
✅ What is a Snagging Report?
A snagging report is a comprehensive document prepared by a professional inspector, listing all defects in your property. It’s your official record of issues the developer must fix.
📋 What’s Inside a Snagging Report?
- Detailed descriptions of each defect
- High-resolution photos for proof
- Room-by-room organization
- Severity ratings (minor vs. urgent)
- Repair recommendations
🛠️ Why Do You Need One in 2025?
- Developers are delivering thousands of units annually. Defects are common.
- Smart homes in Dubai now include advanced systems (IoT, smart AC, automated lighting). These require specialized inspections.
- Buyers and investors are becoming more quality-conscious.
📅 When Should You Get a Report?
- Pre-handover (before signing acceptance)
- Post-handover (within the 12-month DLP)
- Before DLP expiry (final chance to hold developer accountable)
🎯 Final Thoughts
A snagging report in 2025 is your ultimate homeowner protection tool. Without it, you risk paying for the developer’s mistakes.
👉 Always demand a professional snagging report before accepting your Dubai property.
